Indeed
2401 - donated to fire service
2402 - to be replaced (by 2411?) and scrapped
2403 - scrap corner
All of the scrapline marshalls have begun canibalisation over the past month resale of buses lately is limited as they're worth more in scrap thanks to TFL age limits.

I would agree with Michael that X-ANCS are a regular occurrence, it is just like saying a marshall is on the 12/13 it is regular so there is little point in reporting it. Whereas my sighting of 2221 on a 15 is still quite a rare sight for example. Basically we get asked not to clog up threads with daft things and a regular sighting is a daft thing to report, that's all I have to say on the matter.

Glad to see FINALLY Green Lane have adjusted all there destinations to read Liverpool Water Street/Mann Island/James Street/Queen Square... only 4years behind all the other depots!

Noticed this myself today, the odd bus has been going around with the new layout in the past week or so but it seems to have been put in force properly today! Looks a lot better then the previous one.

Just a quick question with the reference to 'scrapline Marshalls', which ones? 7612 and 7614 departed to long-term storage at Wrexham intact (albeit minus the LED from 7612 at least). 7613 is being comprehensively stripped however, though which are the others you're referring to? The Marshall's still have book value, otherwise they would have made an immediate departure from the fleet for scrap after the impending cannibalisation for parts. 7612 and 7614, at this moment in time, are worth too much to the company to be cleared for scrap.
Parts from 7612 and 7613 were used on GL Marshalls whilst it was in the rear corner. I think something off the front of 7612 was used on another marshall, possibly the lower front Pannel.
They do have book value, but not much service re-sale value. Simular marshall 7601 was being sold by Stafford Bus Centre for 10K and has scince dropped to 6K and is still not selling! (Bit cheeky when there selling newer london ones for 4.5K)
7616 may be in scrap corner too
RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - buses7675 - 02/11/2012 19:49
Maybe I should put an offer in for 7601, preserve that, then go for 7675 too so to get the first and last! lol
Of course there is then R411 XFL, but that was in theory a demo!
Sorry for being off topic!

Had the dubious pleasure of 2133 on th 6 late this afternoon all the way from QS to Penketh, to be fair this has a good turn of speed as due to the bus ending up being quite late the driver floored it all the way from Tarbock Island until I got off on Warrington Road. I was quite surprised to find this still out at 9.40 on the 7A heading back to Warrington at Huyton Town Centre as I thought by then it would have been swapped for a pulsar.

When i went past the depot tonight i seen 2103 on the front displaying 27 so it must of been on the belt yesterday!

That means absolutely nothing. I went past the depot last Saturday and it was parked behind 2403 at the front displaying 27. It could well have been on the Belt, but I think that it's been parked up all this time.
